😠 Did not have a good experience with them unfortunately. The gym has all the equipment but is not maintained at all. the equipment cannot be used as they have a rustic sound, rusty not oiled properly and the bathrooms are not cleaned and they smell very badly. This is quite shocking given that places... People often mention good, trainers, equipment, Good, workout, personal, friendly, work, staff,

This is quite shocking given that places like fitness connection, high octane has the same member pricing but has much better cleanliness and equipments. Not worth the price, will not recommend.

    All the comments from the last two years are true, but there was a recent management change in the gym that led me to write this review. The guy named “Jude” who is related to the owner Kris, abused his position to force us out of the gym. For the past couple of months he seemed jealous of my personal trainer who was training me in the gym (which I have paid a membership for him separately); Jude constantly stares at us when we are working out while he sits on a chair and “trains” his clients. Now the gym is going into financial trouble where the building management is asking them to pay all the remaining due debt. After the financial situation was brought to the attention of the gym management, Jude started to demand 30k a month for my personal trainer to train me in the gym. Which I agreed to pay. On Monday the 11th of December, this so-called Jude refused to accept the payment saying that outside trainers aren’t allowed. Guys, please take my advice and reconsider another gym because this guy isn’t fit to run a gym, let alone personal train. I am sad that I have been forced out of a gym I loved going to every single day.

    A really good all round gym with hammer strength machines. Gym rates are also decent and affordable. Been going to this gym for a few years and love the atmosphere. It’s ideal for a newbie to even an advance lifter. Kris the owner is super friendly. The supplements they sell is also top quality. Ample parking if you come to workout around 6:30pm. There’s a Keells downstairs which makes it convenient as well. Only issue is some of the trainers here try to get you hooked onto steroids so you gotta know who to take advice from and who to avoid.

    Decent place to workout! This is an update from my first review 9 months ago when i had just joined! Good selection of free weights and machines (most of the machines are about 20yrs old and need updating but everything works) most AC's switched on and work reasonably well! (Unlike the previous gym). Plenty of parking & having a Supermarket & NTB on the ground floor of the same building is a bonus! Several negatives - Owner seems to live elsewhere in SL and does not seem to take much interest in the gym or the welfare of its members, which had been left to the manager & trainers. This has led to a lethargic approach to its management. They open at 8AM on all holidays, even non mercantile holidays- which means that if you work out in the morning & work in the private sector ( probably 90% of its membership ) there will be many days where you would have to miss your workouts :( Even today (12th May 2022 with the curfew being lifted at 7am and reimposed at 2pm- the decision to open @8am is hard to comprehend! When practically every gym in Colombo opens by 6am the LATEST on non mercantile holidays, thereby enabling working members to hit the gym and still make it to work, the decision to open @8am defies logic! So in conclusion - decent gym, old equipment, plenty of parking, terrible & inconvenient for those with regular jobs who like to workout in the morning!!

    Very unprofessional with the opening and closing times. Opens late and closes early without prior notice. Opens late on bank holidays causing private sector workers like me to miss gym sessions. Trainers are unfriendly and unsupportive if you don't book personal training sessions or if you have male reproductive organs. Not getting the service for the annual fee.

    A really good gym. Trainers are friendly and helpful. Clean, Though the locker room should be much cleaner, and so should the shower area. The showers do not have towel racks also it does not have hot water. Other than that the equipment is great. The monthly membership is a rip off though it's Rs.10,000 I could get a 1 year membership for the same price at Power World GYM.

    I enjoy going to Body By Kris as it has most of the equipment and machines I need. The trainers are also okay and experienced if you need them. Most importantly the vibe and the crowd that comes there is good and so it keeps you motivated and makes you wanna push forward. Other than that, it's very clean compared to some of the high end gyms. If you had to ask me a downside, it would be that it needed a water filter lol

    Great place to work out. The trainers are friendly and the ambiance is spot on with motivational posters, air conditioning and music. Generally open from 5am to 10pm. Plenty of equipment for cardio and weight training.

    Best gym i have ever been. Amazing trainers, lots of machines, very reasonable prices. They also have a beautiful studio where you can exercise and soon they will introduce classes. The interior design is beautiful and so current, never seen a gym like this before, elegant and fresh.

  • 5/5 Leone R. 4 years ago on Google
    I come from UK and this gym has European standards. Even more! Back in UK back my gym had so many issues, ac not string enough, dirty, plain decoration. Here everything seems to be perfect for me from the right temperature, lovely trainers, clean and beautiful women toilets and beautiful, cosy decoration.

  • 5/5 Priyanga K. 6 years ago on Google
    This is a good gym which is open from 5 a.m. till close to midnight. There are plenty of exercise equipment and staff. You need to get the annual, monthly, six months' or daily membership to use the gym. There are decent rest rooms (separate) for men and women. It's fairly clean and has a good positive ambience with good music.

  • 4/5 Theja S. 6 years ago on Google
    It's a good place to improve our fitness. Staff and the owner is well friendly and supportive. But the use of equipment get limited when comparing to the price they charge. Becs we have to pay extra for a personal trainer to use more equipment than cross trainer, Treadmills and bikes.

  • 5/5 Noor N. 4 years ago on Google
    I trained with Erandi many years ago before taking a break for couple of years. I missed my training and I worried about becoming less physically fit, and, then I joined back. My aim has been to increase the physical fitness, losing body fat and increasing physical stamina, and, after five months I'm happy about the progress I'm making. My schedule changes constantly, gradually pushing the envelope, at my own pace to making positive changes I want. It's challenging, hence interesting rather than visiting a regular gym and repeatedly doing the same workout without a proper guidance. Zareefa

😠 Rude and pretentious management. Over-crowded. Air-conditions are switched off during warmer hours of the day. Randomly starts charging Rs. 100/- for parking in their own premises. Doesn’t allow people do deadlifts/ squats without shoes although it is acclaimed to be the better way. Half the cardio...

👍👍 They've changed their location and I have updated the new web address, location address, contact numbers and opening hours. All the best with the future. The edit is live. The new location is opposite the glitz car park in the Salon Liyo building complex top floor.
